  • TASTING NOTE: "The 2018 Barbaresco Albesani is another gorgeous wine from Roagna. Crushed red berry fruit, mint, tobacco, orange peel, spice and crushed rocks open nicely with some coaxing. Deep and powerful, yet also wonderfully understated, the Albesani has a ton to offer. It is also one of the few wines in this vintage here that most certainly needs time. (Drink between 2026-2048)" 94+ Points - Antonio Galloni, Vinous
  • ABOUT THE WINE: The 2018 Roagna Barbaresco "Albesani" is a stunning example of Nebbiolo from the prestigious Albesani cru in the Barbaresco appellation. The Albesani vineyard, located in Neive, is known for producing wines of remarkable finesse and depth. The Nebbiolo grapes are sourced from old vines, some over 50 years old, which are organically farmed and carefully hand-harvested. The wine undergoes a traditional, extended maceration process, followed by aging in large, neutral oak casks for several years. This slow, patient approach allows the wine to develop its complex aromas and flavors while maintaining a balance of power and grace. The 2018 vintage is particularly expressive, with the structure to age for decades, making it an excellent choice for cellaring. This Barbaresco pairs beautifully with game, truffle dishes, and aged cheeses.
  • ABOUT THE PRODUCER: For more than 150 years, the Roagna Winery has been a shining example of quality, traditional-style winemaking in the Barbaresco commune in the beautiful wine region of Piedmont. The tiny winery is located in the hamlet of Barbaresco itself, near Gaja, Bruno Rocca, and the Michelin-starred Antinè restaurant. Long famed for its potent, expressive Barbarescos and Barolos, which in characteristic Barbaresco style can often age for decades, Roagna is one of the old guards of producers, making modern and balanced versions of full, tannic wines that marked this region for so much of the 20th century.
